Since i'm nrabroad
a member of the organization I can't speak in depth on its operation but I found this:

I would like to start out by saying that I think that your organization does many great things for the community. I know first hand how it feels to be discriminated against. But I would like to ask you a question that a co-worker once asked me, and I didn’t have an answer to. He asked, "Why is it that there are such things as a black Miss America contest and black student scholarship funds, etc. But if someone were to try to have a white-only Miss America contest, or a white-only scholarship fund, then it would be racist?" I had never thought of it before, but the question did make me think. Keep up the good work and be blessed! – Julio Cruz, Bahama
For years, these things were white-only. The rabroad
her came about in response to years of segregation and unfair treatment.
Remember, segregation has only been illegal in the last 40 years and even when it became illegal there was no rush to eradicate it. Remember, slaves built UNC but could nrabroad
go there. Minority scholarships are a response to legalized denial.
Yes, it would be racist to have white–only scholarships because whites were nrabroad
historically denied.
By the way, I am sure you know that Historically Black Colleges and Universities were never segregated. Anyone could attend. And today, many white students, despite the fact that they were never denied, get minority grants when they attend HBCU’s.
As far as award shows are concerned..they want to recognize people some of whom have never or would never get recognition in the mainstream.whats the problem with that also Al Gore, Dave Matthews and Bono have won an naacp image awards.
